natwest bank compliance

With my latest bank statement, there was a y2k insert, apparently the system that produced my statement was y2k compliant, this is a normal current (checking) account.
This is not to say it will work in y2k, but at least they'r saying something positive. Any bank in the US saying the same?

Yeah, my bank has inserted Y2K brochures with the past few
statements as well. It's all part of their propaganda campaign to keep
people "confident" in the banks so that people will keep their money
IN the banks. They truly fear a run on banks whether justified or
not. I think most folks here tend to think runs are inevitable,
especially with surveys indicating anywhere from 20 to 35% of people
intend to withdraw their money. Once that starts, it nearly
impossible to stop it. U.S. banks could very well be in trouble by
mid-December (my guess) this year.

Good to see you posting here again. I'll try to remember to submit a
more lyrical response next time.

Bank runs are more likely to start in Japan than here. More than half
their largest banks are insolvent (GN links) and the switch from yen
to dollars started LAST year , mainly by Japanese housewives who put
it in dollars in US banks. Question asked was: When Jap banks can no
longer pay out in cash, where do they look for LIQUID assets ??
Answer... US Treasury Bonds , of which it is estimated they have over
900 BILLION dollars worth. REMEMBER, the USA is the largest debtor
nation in the world. We depend on them to continue BUYING US debt; NOT
SELLING and demanding dollars. The whole run on our currency could
begin while your sleeping , and Europe join in too. By the time it's 6
AM here it's 12 noon in London. By 8 AM here , the Fed could be sucked
dry and any money you though you were going to get for YOUR
Treasuries, LOOOONNG GONE !!! Electronicly, Wall street will have the
jump on cashing assets long before your bank even opens , I would
hazard to guess ! Better check the eggs in the nest. ...... Eagle
